    Tanko - really nice cows with a nice bit of length and the offspring are showing through.
    Length equals Kilos in the factory :)

    Tanko, how do you do the AI? Do you have your own tank or does your AI guy hold them for you?
    Super calves BTW.

    Have it flowing into wellies, no bother. They actually lose grip as they start to float

    That sounds good if you are motoring around a couple of hours every day

    They are thirsty feckers for sure if you use for long periods

    That's average for year. Using 40 at the minute ferrying milk to calves. Once their weaned and spraying done reduces a lot. If used on road they drink petrol

    Using about 2 gallons a week in mine but not using the jeep half as much. Don't find it too bad at all really.

    Thanks Reggie. Changed the bull last year and so far I'm happy with his calves.
